Procured this monster packer last month.
Trimmed down to ~15 lbs. after taking off over 7 lbs. of fat.
On the smoke at 8pm on Monday night.
Wrapped at 7am yesterday.
Temp shot up faster than anticipated and ended up pulling it a few hours before I was ready to do so, being on work calls and such. A little worried about hitting 205-207 degrees instead of my standard 200, and worried about keeping it warm with 7+ hours in the cambro/cooler. But guess what? It worked, because I'm awesome.
Sloppy pic because somebody else picked up the knife, but whatev.
I had no idea what anybody else was making, if anything--I just showed up with brisket. Turns out, this is pretty easily the best plate of food I've had in 2018, including some nice restaurants and shit. Homemade collards, which I don't particularly care for, and these were good enough that I had seconds. Blue cheese cole slaw and pickled cucumber salad. Gatdam.
About to go drop all of this off. Can provide bowl-cam pics if any takers.

It's been in Pop's fridge since then. If you get a cryovac'd packer, then you can (and absolutely should) age it for 30-45 days--I've even gone to 50 once. It's wet aging, essentially, and the natural enzymes in the meat tenderize and break down connective tissues.
The only issue I run into is that generally, I don't know what I'm doing next month. So I'll see a brisket at Costco, and the brisket sees me, and I know we're going home together. And we do. And then I forget about her, and then a month later, I'm like "oh yeah, I gotta find a weekend to do this!".

As for the cryovac packing. My last job was working at Sealed Air (cryovac). I was there for 2 whole months before I took the job I'm at now. That place is a corporate ########.
BUTT they had a kickass R&D facility and would test things out. The coolest thing was they'd give out things to employees. So one time they gave out ribs to everyone. They were in a plastic wrapped sealed bag that you would put the whole thing in the oven. Yes in the bag. It was supposed to be for people who just wanna pop them in the oven for a couple of hours real easy like then presto...ribs. I thought the bag was gonna asspload, it swelled up real big like. Butt it worked like a charm and the ribs were falling off the bone for real. The seasoning kinda ruined it but hey it was free ribs.

Not sure what the weight is, but my dad has already started it and we're going to have around 30 people over so I'm sure it's a pretty big one.
